Chris Redfield Goes Mad Max In RE5 PC Costumes

PC gamers looking to pick up Capcom's latest in zombie hunting will get an interesting set of costumes - Sheva the office worker and Chris the, uh, BDSM fetishist.

Yeah, I'm not even sure where to start with this one, so how about just the facts [http://www.siliconera.com/2009/07/20/a-glance-at-the-pc-exclusive-resident-evil-5-costumes/]? Resident Evil 5 will be hitting PC's September 15, and those who pick it up will be rewarded with not only a revised Mercenaries mode, but some extra bonus costumes - as pictured to the right.

Those are certainly some, er, interesting costumes, eh? Sure, Sheva's office temp outfit looks fine, if somewhat out of place in the sweltering African savanna, but Chris? What, did he just get back from the fetish club's Mad Max theme night? Who the hell did he piss off at Capcom for this treatment?

Or is this a direct reaction to the hubbub over Sheva's "sexy tribal" bikini? If so, I can't help but feel that Capcom really hasn't learned their lesson here.

That's....just....crazy......

Well all well and good for the PC people atleast. They get some nice bonus content for their wait.

 

[Legion]

It's become a trend, first Fallout 3 with the Raiders, and now this.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Prepare for some bitching...

I don't really know what the office outfit is all about, but Chris' outfit looks almost exactly like the Raider Sadist armor in Fallout 3.

I don't really know what the office outfit is all about, but Chris' outfit looks almost exactly like the Raider Sadist armor in Fallout 3.

It really does.

But I'm just glad it's coming out for the PC x]

I don't really know what the office outfit is all about, but Chris' outfit looks almost exactly like the Raider Sadist armor in Fallout 3.

Thats because the Raider Sadist armour and such is based off the film Mad Max. Bethesda used so many Mad Max referances in Fallout 3 it hurts.

Anyway, this looks quite silly the only costume that kind of fitted in Resident Evil apart from the BSAA Uniforms was Sheva's Tribal Suit and Chris' Safari suit. No matter how silly they looked.

I just wonder why they couldnt have done this for the console. Pains me to see really.

 

[Gunner_Guardian]

I'm noticing this a lot lately.

"Hey you can't have the women in your game wearing revealing costumes and the men having actual costumes"

"Ok fine, we'll make the men have revealing costumes too"

"Ok... woa wait WHAT!?"

 

[Pipotchi]

He looks a bit like Haggar from Final Fight, he was the mayor of Metro City y'know?

 

[Lord George]

I'd Hit it.

I think It'll be pretty cool to combine my loves of bondages and zombies.

 

[BoxCutter]

I've always enjoyed capcom's quirky costume unlockables

lolz

 

[InvisibleMilk]

I like the costumes.

.... Come on, people.

 

[dalek sec]

So what exactly was the problem with Sheva's bikini outfit thing? I haven't played the game yet. Man this game seem's to be drawing a alot of issue's though.

 

[Jonny The Kay]

Haha reminds me of the Raider outfit from fallout 3.

 

[Wildrow12]

He looks a bit like Haggar from Final Fight, he was the mayor of Metro City y'know?

I don't know. It looks more like Alexander the Grater from "Saturday Night Slam Masters".

Though if they wanted to go down the Mad Max route, they would give him a Lord Humongous costume.

"Just walk away. You can put a stop to all this. Just walk away and we'll spare your lives. Just walk away."

 

[Scrythe]

I don't really know what the office outfit is all about, but Chris' outfit looks almost exactly like the Raider Sadist armor in Fallout 3.

It looks more like the Raider Painspike to me.

Spoiler

Everyone's ripped off Mad Max, though. Even Motley Crue.

 

[Clirck]

Wait what ? Resident Evil 5 for PC ? For real ?

That means I can play Resident Evil for the first time in my life !

Also the suit looks like Raider Painspike armor from Fallot 3 like Scrythe said.

 

[IamQ]

Is it just me, or does Chris Redfield look like Vamp?

 

[Leftnt Sharpe]

You gotta love Capcom. They are so blissfully unaware of how many people they are going to piss off, but in a loveable immature sort of way.
